Viewing Notes
Thought I had seen this but I guess not. Always down for more Ren Osugi and Kazuki Kitamura.
Didn’t realize “full metal” was literal. Also didn’t realize Miike participated in that weird Japanese sci-fi wave in the 90s. This movie is longer than it needs to be to convey the story but I appreciate the gritty DIY attitude in this low budget affair. This could easily be remade today with a larger budget and better FX.
Also needs a newer, cleaner release. This DVD looks like shit. Basically another one for Arrow to take over and clean up.
